ENTITY: Further the Void

by Donald Morrison

#1 bestselling cosmic horror writer Donald Morrison’s Further the Void is a relentless return to the terror that humanity was never meant to survive.

Private First Class Jason Fascio believed he had escaped the nightmare on Mars. For nearly eight years, he drifted in cryo, suspended between memory and oblivion, hoping distance and time had buried what he witnessed at the Attis Mining Colony. But when he awakens aboard the Janus Space Station, he quickly realizes the truth—some things do not stay buried. Some things follow.

At first, it’s subtle. Equipment malfunctions. Shadows where none should exist. Crew members reporting sounds in empty corridors. Then the deaths begin. As paranoia spreads and containment fails, Jason is forced to confront the horrifying possibility that the organism he survived did not die on Mars. It endured. It adapted. And now, trapped in the cold isolation of deep space, he and the crew must face an intelligence that is patient, merciless, and no longer contained.

A direct sequel to the fan-favorite cosmic horror novel ENTITY, Further the Void delivers suffocating tension, escalating dread, and relentless extraterrestrial terror. Perfect for fans of Dead Space, Alien, and The Thing, this gripping sci-fi horror thriller explores the true cost of survival—and the unimaginable horror of being found again.

Really enjoyed this, even more than the first book.

Lazy editing and lack military protocol

Some sections were entertaining but when a lieutenant is referring to a Sgt. as “sir”, and Sgt. is referring to commissioned officer as lieutenant instead of simply “sir”, it got too distracting.
Plus, grunts were promoted to officers and names were swapped around and confused multiple times. It became too frustrating to finish.

“If you enjoyed this book, then be sure to read the rest in the series” alright Mr. Morrison, where are the rest in the series, because I need to read them… in the mean time I will read The Cargo I suppose (it’s already sitting on my kindle right now lol)

I’m not sure how this, duology… or unfinished series? isn’t more popular. With a good editor and a relaunch I feel like it could get great traction!

In both books I found the action to be a really great way to push the story forward. There are also slower moments where the character take in the death and destruction around them with descriptions so great that I can imagine what they are seeing. I highly recommend this for people who are interested in scifi, space travel, aliens and first contact gone wrong. ✝️🤍

The rare sequel better than the prequel

Entity: Further The Void picks up where Entity left off, with Fascio finding himself eight years after boarding the ship headed to earth, but on a station light years from where he should have been. Like Entity, Further The Void is packed with non-stop action and a high body count. Characters act both in selfish and altruistic ways, dialog is tense and fitting, violence strong and plentiful. 4/5 stars, recommended for fans of horror, sci-fi or both!

While I have to admit I didn't love the first ENTITY book, this one was fantastic. Great use of characters from the previous book. I ended up reading this book in two sittings only because I got in trouble for reading it too much at work and had to wait to finish it later.

Probably a 3.5 for this sequel. More or less the same story, only in a bigger environment (which is fine), but there were large portions of over-descriptive text, and quite a few grammar errors which were off-putting (a few I don't mind, but when there are lots, it's not good). I did enjoy the premise of the story and was interested to see how the survivor from the first book navigated through this new place. I felt he did a good job. The characters were more of the same, along with some civilians. A mix of short and long chapters kept the story quite punchy, but the longer chapters were filled with long paragraphs full of "fluffer" text.

Overall it was an OK read, mainly because I wanted to see how the story continued. The ending left the door open for a third book, but I'm not sure if I'll be along for that ride, unless the story takes a drastic change of direction.

Pretty much like the first except the smartest person survives to the end.
